Yes! It's an incredible scripting language! And very powerful once you get used to it. I am a c++ programmer and am learning Ruby and all I wish for is that it would be a faster language. This is one area where C++ is better. And that's it! Its a TRULY object-oriented language (not just oriented it a true objective language, hehe). Everything is an object there, not like in C++, which has also primitive types etc. Even operators are objects, and numbers too. You can do this for example:

8.to_s

which means that you can call methods on numbers, like in this case, where i called "to_s" on the number 8.
The result would be:
"8"

8 as a string, since to_s is a method that converts an object (eight in our case) to string.

If you have a chance learn it! Its very rewarding, and I am saying that as a (still) only student of Ruby :)

What is the role of HTML in computer programming in detail?

HTML has no role in programming. HTML is not a programming language. It is a markup language, which means it is for formatting pages and text and helping to lay them out. It has no real processing capabilities. To make a webpage actually do something you need to introduce a programming language. So you can use HTML with a programming language to make an actual webpage do things. HTML cannot do that by itself.HTML has no role in programming. HTML is not a programming language.

How do you use for command in Unix programming?

AnswerYou do not mention the programming language you intend to use. The implementation of looping constructs differs from one programming language to another. For instance, in the 'C' programming language, you might do something like the following:for(;;) {/* Some code or other would go here to do something. */}The above indicates an 'Endless Loop' in 'C'.If programming in Ruby, Basic, Fortran, Perl, Python, PHP, Shell, Awk (including Nawk and Gawk) or one of the many other programming languages available on Unix/Linux systems, your 'for' loop may look very different.
